Faculty of Health Studies, School of Medicine (Undergraduate Program)

Each Department or Course provides the student with a set of educational objectives at the beginning of the period of instruction together with a description of the evaluation techniques to be used and a criteria-related statement of honours /pass / fail levels. At the end of the period of instruction, a report on the student's standing in each course is made to the Medical School Office in the form of an honours / pass / fail designation together with a narrative description of his/her performance where appropriate.

As of September 2010:

Evaluation is in the form of a pass/fail designation only. Honours designation no longer granted.

Course Weighting:

FromJuly 1997to May 1, 2011:

The unit weights are assigned as follows: 1 Accreditation Unit (AU) for each hour of lecture, 0.5 AU for each hour of laboratory or tutorial. E.G. a course with {(36-6-9) 51} offers 36 hours of lectures, 12 hours of laboratories and 18 hours of tutorials. The normal sessional load for full-time students ranges from 450 to 550 AU.

From September 1968 to July 1997:

Each course was assigned a unit weight associated with the number of lecture, tutorial and laboratory hours per week per term in that course: Three units per lecture hour per week per term plus one unit per laboratory or tutorial hour per week per term. Sessional loads range normally from 100 to 130 units depending on the program.

Prior to September 1968:

Course weighting was usually indicated as lecture hours per week per session. A normal full load was approximately 25 to 30 lecture/lab hours, depending on the program.
